Point Chev Meetup & Photo Walk

Join Sony Digital Imaging Ambassador Tom Ang for an informal walkabout on lovely Point Chevalier Beach and Reserve.

Bring yourself, camera gear (and togs if you like to swim: high-tide is at 0905hrs) for a relaxed morning of photography and chat. There's plenty to explore and photograph at the beach and in the reserve ... or simply have a lovely time.

We'll meet at the mid-level picnic tables towards the northern end of the beach. Park on Harbour View Road. Do not go to Coyle Park.

Use this opportunity to ask questions, pick up tips and techniques. I'll set a project for those who'd like direction, otherwise, just enjoy exploring the area. Watch the beach as the tide is going out as it extends quickly, leaving interesting patterns and puddles as the waters drop.

Schedule: Meet at 11am (earlier if you come for a swim: I will be at the northern end, down from the changing rooms).

Walkabout until 1:30pm. Continue with coffee at Point Chev Beach Cafe for those who wish: a short walk away, towards Coyle Park. (If it's very wet, we'll head to the café  and have a phototalk instead.)

Token $10 to ensure those who book will attend.

• Ask Tom for help on any aspect of photography during the walkabout.
• The location offers landscape, beach, sea views and portrait opportunities.
• Use it as an opportunity to try out something you've never done before!

• Warm clothes and be prepared for rain. If there's a westerly, the beach will feel quite exposed.
• Any favourite camera and lenses.
• If you fancy a swim, bring togs. There's a changing room on the reserve by the beach.
